Absolutley. Get an A7N8X Deluxe. It can support the newest AMD barton core
procs, has dual channel DDR memory, a built in 5.1 sound, two(2) LAN
ports,
USB2.0, Firewire, a talking POST reporter at boot time, and the chipset
(nForce2) is one of the hottest out right now for AMD. It's a little
pricey
(135.00), but the built in features REALLY offset that price tag. Just
make
shure to get good qaulity DDR sticks ( I went with Corsair XMS3200 ). It
is
an awsome mobo !

900MHz or more? Hmm. When you say 900, I presume you're talking a bout an
existing processor you have?

Is it Slot 1, Socket 370, Slot A, Socket A...

Presumably if you're keeping your CPU, you'll be keeping your RAM? What
type is it? PC100? PC133?

I can't recommend buying a board for an old processor, unless you really are
on a budget and your existing motherboard has died. Since the 900MHz
processors, RAM has changed to DDR and sockets and slots have all changed.
